Re: Dragonlance for D&D3e/d20 But what about the steel coins! :D Oil is a precious commodity in our society, and you don't see us using it as currency. ;)

Dragonlance got a significant number of votes for the least favorite setting in the thread of that name, and a comment was made that people don't like DL because of the silly races (Gully Dwarves, Kender, and Gnomes) but because they feel straightjacked by the books. Is that the case?

ignore, trying to figure out polls

I agree, I'm not a big fan of god-driven games either. Especially not games where PC's are secretly children of the gods or some such thing.

I guess I'm looking for just a yes/no on whether or not it's possible. Assume a flat bottom raft with a small sail as described in the posts above.

Minor bump to see if anyone knows how hard it is to boat upstream.

What psion said. I can't stand the books, can't stand the setting. Btw, this thread is probably going to go up in flames within a page or so. It's hard to say 'I don't like something' w/o also saying 'if you like it, you suck'. :D

I don't think there are para-elemental planes in 3e at all anymore, just pockets of para-elementalness in the main elemental planes. I've been playing with pronounciations lately, and have started using: Tyf-ling (rhymes with knife-ling) Ghen-ah-syh Az-ih-mahr

What annoyed me about that article is the way the picture did not jive with the text in some cases. The ooze and magma genesai are describe as looking human with elemental-ish traits, not as big gooy monsters and flaming stone guys.

Thanks for the feedback, not only did you answer my question, you gave me ideas for adventures (trecking around rapids, leaving the boat behind when the river gets too small). One more question. Any idea how hard it is to sail a barge like that against the current? Jack Haggarty mentioned a...

3 minutes because the caster level would still be 3rd.

But you can receive haste w/o being an arcane caster. That's the difference. A wizard can cast haste on other people, he cannot cast shield on them. Thus, it's not an issue for the monk's belt or boots of speed. Now, if you had an item that permanently put haste on someone, that would be...

Yes, but my point is that to cast the shield spell, you normally have to be a sorcerer or wizard. Allowing others to utilize the spell takes away one of its primary disadvantages, and it should therefore cost more for others to be able to use it. If it were only activated by a caster, like a...

Seems like that's correct. If I were the DM, I'd probably increase the price a bit because one of the disadvantages spells such as shield, expeditious retreat, and true strike have is that the caster cannot bestow them on someone else. The magic item rules don't work very well when you apply...

Thanks for posting the feat! These discussions are difficult w/o them. I think it's pretty clear from the wording of the feat that it does not allow you to sneak attack creatures normally immune. It says that it any attack you make is a sneak attack. Big deal. If you flank a golem, and make...

I'm getting the itch to start a new campaign, and was mulling over the following premise: The characters are given the task of taking a boat to the source of a river in a remote part of the campaign world. The setting will be a cold inhospitable Yukon/Alaskan style environment. My question...

Can you post the exact wording of the feat for those of us w/o the epic level handbook? I think you're reading too much into it. If it were meant to give sneak attack damage to anything, it would probably have something like this: Normal: You cannot get sneak attacks against elementals...

IMC, dragons are heavily involved in human politics for this reason. In my thief campaign, the head of the guild is an ancient black dragon, and the assassins are his direct descendents. There are other dragons in and around the city, including a silver dragon who supports a powerful noble...

Yup, it gets ugly w/those x4 crit weapons. There's a fighter/cleric in the campaign I'm running who's using a pick of some flavor. At third level, he took out an ogre in one hit because of a crit. He was really on a roll, because the next session he downed a devil with a single hit as well...

I went for Planescape. I'm a Spelljammer fan at heart, but I have to admit that the product line was pretty craptacular and that there's a lot of silly stuff in the setting that I don't dig.
